Chinaman Creek Traditional




Brahms6 found this one on 31st January at 16:43, 96th find.
I found this one with the assistance of the whole "Wazza&Kara" family.
I had located the GZ for this cache quite some time ago, although I did approach it from the long side of the creek. The cache was hidden to high for me to get to even though Mrs Brahms6 did give me a leg up. On that occasion we did get accosted by a junior muggle who had lots of questions about our activities (I think he is going to be a policeman in a few years time).
Wazza and I were comparing notes and he told of his trip to the site with a small step ladder under his arms. But this did not get him the height he required. We decided that we would grab my fold up ladder and head out at dusk to try together.
When we arrived at the parking spot there was a conveniently located pile of shopping trolleys that had been discarded, so we picked the best (Coles) and loaded the ladder in and set off down the track. We got some odd looks from the joggers and walkers as we headed down the path but we just smiled and waved as if it was the most natural thing in the world to be pushing a ladder in a shopping trolley.
When we got to the GZ I set up the ladder and Wazza directed Mrs Wazza up into the tree (no one ever accused him of being a gentleman) Mrs Wazza shot up into the tree like a spider monkey and soon had the cache in hand. I stood back and took photo's pretending to the passing muggles that it was some sort of photographic exercise.
After signing the log and taking a band and leaving a wolf and a goat we headed back up the path with our intrepid shopping trolly.
This was a fun cache because it drove us to do something completely bizarre.
